This is the prettiest basement bathroom I've helped to achieve. My part was painting ceilings, walls, and trims. As well as installing the mural wallpaper. Shout out to @vkosiktrendesdesign for the fabulous design. @hermesplumbing for the awesome plumbing fixtures. @drytech.interiors for the flawless drywalled areas. @forterinconstruction for the amazing tilework. And of course @emeraldinspectionsyeg for making it all happen! #wallsrevived #bathroomwallpaper #wallmural #yegwallpaper #yeg #sherwoodpark #yegpainter #bnisaintcity #prettybathrooms #pretty #pink #pinkbathroom

Consider a limewash for your fireplace if you want a distressed look. But if you're wanting a uniform solid look, then PAINT is your best choice. It's been a busy summer! Traveling, working, creating art, DSLR camera courses, working 😄 I have so many pictures of my projects, I don't know where to begin, but I should start posting again. Sorry, I don't have time to make fancy reels, so you get my good ole trusted before/after collage pics! #wallsrevived #limewash #limewashbrick #limewashfireplace #yegpainter

The MAGIC of PAINT!! 😲😍🤩 (And new flooring & light fixtures). Swipe to see before pictures This was a huge reno project that I just wrapped up. Changed all the wood trims to White, painted all walls, closets, doors, 2-toned railings, some ceilings, colour consultation, etc. Paint colour is Collingwood OC-28. Top rail & front door colour is Fairview Taupe HC-85 (I'm currently obsessed with this colour and plan to use it in my home) Here's a story about the colour selection... I met with the homeowner to select her paint colours and I brought my large samples of popular neutrals. Based on her selection of tiles and flooring, I suggested Collingwood OC-28. She bought several different paint samples and tried them all over the house. In the end she chose Collingwood. 😆 She tells everyone this story, and how she should have trusted my original suggestion and saved the time, effort, and deliberation over the many samples she tried. ❤ Choosing paint colours can be beyond overwhelming. That is why my colour consultations are invaluable (and included when you book your project with me) #wallsrevived #renovation #renovationfind #renopaint #thequeenofpaint #Collingwood #yegpainter #queenofgreige #greige #greigeexpert

A preview of my new tri-fold brochure! What do you think? I had some spare time recently and used it to design this brochure 😬. My previous one had my old logo and colors, so definitely time to update! #wallsrevived #yegpainter #stalbertpainter #Sherwoodpark #renovationfind #thatbenmooreguy

Find the link in my bio! I've been meaning to make some "How To" videos for awhile and just put it on the back-burner. Then I had a question today about trouble-shooting a DIY streaky dark wall and I thought it'd be easier to do a video than try to explain the potential causes. I'd love to hear suggestions on other videos I should do 😁

When you hire a PRO, you should expect Professional results! This was a refreshing repaint project. I updated the golden-toned walls using Benjamin Moore's Collingwood OC-28 in Scuff-X matte (which btw is my favorite product for many reasons). The Dining Room was painted in Aegean Teal 2136-40 with the aid of my favorite yellow Frog Tape. #wallsrevived #yegpainter #sherwoodpark #frogtape #Collingwood #aegeanteal #aegeantealbenjaminmoore #scuffx #scuffxpaint #thatbenmooreguy #crisplines #professional #hireapro #quality #qualitytools #renovationfind

My Monday project. I consistency get told I'm very fast and meticulous. In 6.5 hours I painted the ceilings, applied 2 coats on walls and trims (bifold door not shown) + installed a peel n' stick feature wall. #wallsrevived #brickfeaturewall #brickwallpaper #yegwallpaper #yeg #timeismoney #whatdidyoudotoday #peelnstickwallpaper #peelnstick #renovationfind

Have to see this beautiful wallpaper in person! Photos don't do justice to this 1926 design from Morris & Co. Swipe to see close up. Very good quality wallpaper 👍👍 @wmorrisandco #wallsrevived #wallpaper #wallpapers #morrisandco #vintagewallpaper #artsandcraftsmovement #birdwallpaper #renovationfind

Should you paint ledgestone? Personally, I like natural stone...but when the stone doesn't complement the colour scheme of your home, go ahead and paint those rocks! These fireplaces didn't fit in (hardwood to be replaced in the future with a gray/brown tone). Left side: Benjamin Moores Amherst Gray. Right: Benjamin Moore's Ashland Slate. Walls in Gray Owl OC-52 I chose to paint these by hand rather than spraying. Took about 3 hours each. #wallsrevived #paintedledgestone #paintedfireplace #paintedstones #grayowl #Amherstgray #ashlandslate #renovationfind

Peel n Stick wallpaper from @rockymountaindecals. This product is awesome to work with. Very high quality product. 👍👍 Peel N Stick Pros and Cons (from my experience): PROS - Easy to remove when the time comes - No mess compared to water or adhesive products - Don't have to worry about seams opening - Murals are an option (no visible pattern repeat) CONS - More expensive than most wallpapers. Better the quality, more $$$ (BUT...higher upfront cost will be worth the easy removal compared to the labour/wall repairs when removing adhesive wallpaper) - It's essentially a giant sticker and you must have the skills and patience to get professional results. - Lord help you if you mess up and it sticks to itself - Brutal Papercuts can happen - More waste to dispose of from the sticker-backing - Cheaper products are prone to ink smearing when cleaning So I realize the CONS list is longer, but in general I like the idea of Peel n Stick and I wouldn't hesitate to install more Rocky Mountain Wall Decals 😁 #wallsrevived #walldecals #peelnstick #wallpaper #renovationfind

It's like a whole new home! It's easier to list the things I haven't painted in this house! 😄 The kitchen got a huge overhaul. The handy homeowner did several modifications to it before I painted it to match the new trim colour. I love the black hood fan.. which ties in with the other black elements throughout the home. *Please note that this was the last large kitchen project I'll be undertaking. (I don't have a shop and my garage will no longer be used for spraying.) #wallsrevived #paintedcabinets #paintedcabinetsbeforeandafter #beforeandafter #kitchenmakeover #renovationfind

GOLD!! My clients decided to be adventurous with this feature wall. Product: Modern Masters, Gold Rush. I applied a gold-coloured paint first (2 coats) then 4 coats of the metallic paint. *metallic "paint" is tricky to work with as it's not uniform like regular paint and instead has reflective particles. So depending on application, you can get various results. I did brush & roll this ...very carefully. For optimal results, this product should be sprayed. #wallsrevived #metallicpaint #goldwall #goldpaint #metallicgold

I'm back! I took 3 months off posting on my page to dedicate all my focus to @dan4yeg as I was his campaign manager and created 90+ IG posts in that short time (along with many other duties). I'm exhausted! Unfortunately our efforts weren't enough, but we'll be back in 2025 😀 Want to add some pizazz to a white on white room? Add a wallpaper feature wall! Peel n Stick wallpaper. *keep in mind this wallpaper typically yields 2 strips per roll @ 8' wall height. This bathroom had 9' tall walls, so I had to use 2 rolls. Peel n Stick can be costly upfront, but has the advantage of easy removal when you get tired of the design. #wallsrevived #wallpaper #wallpaperdecor #peelnstickwallpaper #bathroomdecor #bathroomwallpaper

Beautiful mural pattern with reasonably sized panels! (25") 😍 I enjoyed installing this product by @york_wallcoverings. * #wallsrevived #mural #flowermural #wallmural #yeg #yegpainter #yegwallpaper

Isn't this gorgeous? 😍 What caught my eye was the wood window trim. Oftentimes I'm asked to paint wood trims white. When in good shape, wood is beautiful and this colour scheme shows it works perfectly with modern/rustic decor. * I'm unsure of the paint colours, but I would recommend an off white like White Dove OC-17 and Hale Navy HC-154 or a black matte for the feature wall. * Photo Credit goes to @katechipinski * #wallsrevived #woodtrim #oaktrim #wood #woodisbeautiful #rusticdecor #blackfeaturewall

Railing paint 🤩 The new flooring didn't work with the maple railing, so I painted it white to match the trims. Now it fits right in! * Prep, prime with Stix, topcoat with Benjamin Moore's Advance in semigloss. * #wallsrevived #railingpaint #paintedrailing

Beware!! Your flooring or bright rugs can cast colour reflections onto your walls and ceilings! (Also bright feature wall colours will do the same) * I was walking up the stairs and saw a red glow... I looked over and saw a red blanket on the floor (thanks hunny)...I was amazed at how the sunlight was reflecting that much colour. I started remembering houses I've been in with strong red or yellow hardwood flooring and how it changed the wall/ceiling colour. Red floors gave the walls a blush and yellow floors made the ceiling look dingy. I thought this was post worthy and something to consider when selecting flooring... * My advice if you have red floors and don't want the red glow.. use a neutral area rug. I'd have to do some research about what paint colour to use...🤔 * Yes, I still have my xmas village up..hehe, I've been busy! * #wallsrevived #nofilter #colourreflections #reflections #sunlight #redflooring #painttips #homedecor #flooring #flooringselection #floorcolour

What a transformation! Swipe to see the previous Tuscan inspired theme. Changed to cool and crisp 😎 * Wall colour: Benjamin Moore's Bunny Gray * #wallsrevived #loft #loftdesign #loftinterior #yeg #icediscrict #condoloft #yegpainter #renovationfind

Firstly, I'm local! Born and raised in Edmonton. I'd like to say I'm used to the weather, however I'm happiest in tropical environments.. one day I'll return for an overdue vacation!  🌴 * My education and work background was in the homebuilding industry for 8+ years designing and estimating homes. It's pretty neat driving past homes I've designed...oddly I haven't painted any of them yet 🤷‍♀️ * I got into the painting industry full time in 2011 and haven't looked back. Thanks to David of @kingcoatingsyeg I learnt a tremendous amount.  I believe in knowing my trade and that's why I went to school and earned my Red Seal Journeyman Certification in Painting and Decorating. * It's both liberating and challenging running a small business. This past year I scaled back and now it's just me painting or installing wallpaper nearly everyday.  When I need extra help, I recruit from a little unofficial painters network. But I prefer to do the work myself as I'm incharge of quality control and I rarely get call-backs. "I'm worth the Wait" is my tagline for a reason. 😉 * I credit much of my business success to BNI. I was a member of @bnisaintcityabn for 3 years.  I built my business identity with their guidance and support while earning referrals with my talent, integrity, and reputation.  Last year I changed chapters and am currently the President of @bniaspire. I highly encourage anyone to attend our zoom meetings.. DM me for details. * I ❤ being part of a transformation..instant job gratification. In my spare time I watch Before and After renovation shows...anyone remember Trading Spaces??  * I'll paint until I physically can't anymore.. then I'm thinking I'll pick up artist's brushes and get back into my first passion, fine arts painting. For now I'm an Art Collector 😀 @agneskokotstudio @long_painter * Thank you for your ❤ and support @thatbenmooreguy * #wallsrevived #meettheowner #camerashy #selfiesarenotmything #ilovepainting #thisisme #minibio #renovationfind #bni #bniaspire

This unique vaulted bedroom is being turned into a little girl's room.. and the first step was changing the gray walls to an uplifting yet serene green. I can picture some great accompanying colours in here.. hot pink, rich yellow.. so many possibilities 😍 * Colour is Benjamin Moore's Santa Barbara Green 2037-60 * #wallsrevived #greenpaintedwalls #greenpaint #yegpainter #paintingtallwalls #tallbedroom #vaulted #renovationfind

Whatever your reason, DIY is not for everyone. Hiring a professional painter has many benefits. * This unique older home has some very tall peaks requiring my extension ladder and long pole. Paint colour is Benjamin Moore's Distant Gray * #wallsrevived #hireapro #hireaprofessional #tallwalls #soaringceilings #yegpainter #renovationfind

Swipe to see the Before!! Beautiful cherry cabinets were too dark for this U-shaped kitchen. We painted it Agreeable Gray SW7029 which completely changed the mood and livened up the space. My client is very pleased. * #wallsrevived #kitchenpaint #cabinetpainting #kitchenrefresh #cupboardpaint #lessardvillage #yegpainter #yeg #renovationfind #beforeandafter

Ceilings matter! The severely yellowed ceilings made the walls look drab. A coat of stain-blocker and then white latex paint made a huge difference! 👍👍 * The new homeowners had painted the walls (was formerly a purple colour)... they didn't realize how yellow the ceilings were until they painted the walls an off-white. ~It happens often!!😮😖 * We recommend to paint ceilings first, then walls. It is much more difficult to cut in (brush) the ceiling perimeter of textured ceilings after walls have been finished. * *TIP: unsure if your ceilings need paint? Hold a piece of paper near the ceiling and you'll be able to tell if your ceilings are yellow. * #wallsrevived #powerofpaint #beforeandafter #stainedceilings #paintedceiling #stainblocker #stainblockingprimer #stainblockerbasecoat #renovationfind #whatadifferencepaintmakes

Can you paint stonework? You bet! I can't wait to see how @simoneandivy.ca completes their vision of this basement refresh 🤩 * Wall colour is Benjamin Moore's Overcoat CC-544. I found this to be a really warm and rich dark gray. It would be a great colour choice for a kitchen island or feature wall. * Stone colour is Benjamin Moore's Graphite 1603. * #wallsrevived #ledgestonepaint #paintingstone #paintstonework #paintfireplace #ledgestone #beforeandafter #refresh #renovationfind #stalbert #yegpainter #professionalpainter #propainter #byhand

Dramatic room makeover 🤩 Paint and wallcovering totally changed up the feel and vibe of this room. * Wall colour is Benjamin Moore's Calm.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of being part of a room makeover collaboration with some very talented ladies. This was the result 😍 Thanks to @simoneandivy.ca for the vision, decor, and execution. And @kariskelton for being the gracious host 😊 Kari wrote an awesome blog about it on her website kariskelton.com * https://kariskelton.com/2021/03/01/guest-room-reveal-transitional-with-a-vintage-twist/ * I was worried about covering the brown walls in 2 coats.. but trusty Benjamin Moore's Aura in matte did it (and my special technique 😉). Wall colour is Swiss Coffee. I repainted the trims using Benjamin Moore's BEN semigloss in untinted white * #wallsrevived #roommakeover #swisscoffee #renovationfind #simoneandivy #simoneandivydecor #kariskelton #yegpainting #yeg #stalbert #paint

Now this was a challenging stairwell 😯 My 21' ladder was fully extended. And my trusted gooseneck brush* came in handy 😎 * Painted over the fauxfinished walls with Sandbar (SW 7547). I also painted the trims 2 coats..super tricky on that window wall. * #wallsrevived #trickofthetrade #yegpainter #stairwellpainting #kneeswereshaking #ladderwork #gooseneckbrush #renovationfind #steadyhands

Don't stare too long! This Groovy wallpaper pattern makes for a fun feature wall in this basement media room. Client had purchased the paper 5 months ago initially as a DIY project. Wallpaper can be intimidating! I have the tools, skills, training, and patience to professionally install your wallpaper. * I ❤ working with @york_wallcoverings products. Excellent quality. This pattern is called Ribbons. * #wallsrevived #wallpaper #wallpaperfeature #renovationfind #physchdelic #physchedlicwallpaper #groovy #groovypattern

Zoom in, I dare you! There was a large mirror glued to this wall - and when removed, it took the top layers of paint and drywall with it 😖 I know how to repair this! (Not as simple as mudding & painting) * Wall colour changed to Benjamin Moore's Stonington Gray * #wallsrevived #walldamage #wallrepair #icanfixthis #drywalldamage #drywalldamagerepair #nofilter #flawless #flawlesswalls #renovationfind

Ooo lala! 3D wall panels and moody navy walls for this stylish and calming massage room. * I love this navy so much I'm strongly considering repainting my navy walls. Benjamin Moore's Bluenote 2129-30 😍 * First time installing these wall panels @mywallart . Turned out great.

Sometimes we need to prep to the extreme 😯. Several factors including freshly painted walls, crown moulding, and hardwood floors meant we needed to poly everything and paper the floors. * Popcorn texture was never painted so we needed to spray it with 2 light coats of latex paint. * #wallsrevived #sprayceiling #prepfordays #notallfunandgames #spraypopcorn #ceilingprep #yegpainter #renovationfind

Saturday's bedroom transformation. Turned this lack luster room into a brighter space with paint and a brick wallpaper focal point 😎 * Wall colour is Distant Gray from Benjamin Moore * Another wallpaper challenge.. client bought 1 roll for this wall. I had to piece together the pattern under the window from scraps.. can you tell? I can't..even after zooming in. 😯 * I'll be writing about How to Order Wallpaper in an upcoming blog. Stay tuned! * #wallsrevived #wallpaper #brickwallpaper #masterwallpaperinstaller #wallpaperchallenge #distantgray #renovationfind #bedroommakeover #stalbert #yegpainter

Prepped and Painted this custom built fireplace mantle...along with the shelves, ceilings, walls, and trim. Dramatic Before and After! * 'Prepping' finishing work includes filling nail holes, dapping the cracks, sanding, removing dust, etc. Typically the Finishing Carpenters build, then walk away. It's up to the painters to complete the work and make it look pretty. * #wallsrevived #custompaintedmantle #beforeandafter #spraypaint #yegpainter @foxproconstruction #fireplacemantle #renovationfind

This rental condo's dark and dingy bedroom (along with the rest of the unit) got a paint and flooring makeover. The ceiling before was nearly black. We rolled oil first to seal in the nicotine stains, then sprayed with latex. Walls and trims got 2 coats. Looks like new! 😀 * I don't just paint fancy fun projects.. bring on the TLC ones - they make for dramatic Before and Afters 👀 * #wallsrevived #beforeandafter #oilceiling #tlc #tlcprojects #repaintspecialist #repaint #stalbert #yegpainter #renovationfind #renochallenge #jobsatisfaction

Well, this was a challenge! So 1 roll of wallpaper will typically get you 3-4 strips depending on pattern repeat. I needed 6 strips for this wall and I only had 1 roll to work with. Granted they weren't all full length strips, but with careful planning, I succeeded. Woohoo 😀 * * Obstacles included the vanity, electrical wiring & plumbing valve (not shown), and the tub surround. * * #wallsrevived #wallpaper #damaskwallpaper #bathroomwallpaper #wallpaperchallenge #renovationfind #yeg #stalbert #sherwoodpark #edmonton

Who says office/work bathrooms and hallways need to be neutral? Liven up your workplace with colour! * * I did the lunch room a year ago and they loved it so much they decided to extend the colours into other areas. * On the walls I used Benjamin Moore's Scuff-X product for it's durability benefits in this high-traffic area. For doors and doorframes, I used Benjamin Moore's Advance - it hardens to a very durable enamel finish (what I typically use on cabinets) #wallsrevived #colorintheworkplace #colourintheworkplace #purplewalls #yegpainting #renovationfind #workincolours #scuffx #benjaminmoore #benjaminmoorepaint

Feature wallpaper wall for this unique loft bedroom. Challenges included the pipe cut out and trimming along the concrete ceiling. Turned out Great! * * #wallsrevived #wallpaper #wallpaperfeature #navywallpaper #masculinewallpaper #renovationfind #yeg #lofts

I finally got some sun! And helped these sun-scorched buildings come back to life. * * I've been busy painting interiors this summer. But I was able to take on a smaller exterior project so I took advantage of the recent great weather and got these done. Looks 10x better! * Prep included cleaning, scraping flaking paint, sanding, and priming bare wood areas with oil. 2 coats Benjamin Moore Exterior paint to match Hardie Board colour Aged Pewter. #wallsrevived #shedpainting #garagepainting #prepfordays #yegpainting #exteriorpainting #renovationfind

'Whitewashed' this brick fireplace today. First time I've used lime to achieve this look and it turned out great. Will look awesome with a mantle and new fireplace insert. #wallsrevived #Whitewash #whitewashbrick #whitewashbrickfireplace #hydratedlimewash #renovationfind

This colour makes me smiley 😍 Benjamin Moore's Head over Heels AF-250. Makes for a very cute, but sophisticated little lady's bedroom. I had to prime* first before applying 2 coats ~ covering over gray and purple walls. *Light Pinks can be semitransparent and often need a primer coat to achieve solid 2 coat coverage when painting over anything but off-whites. #wallsrevived #headoverheels #pinkwalls #ilovepink #girlsbedroom #stalbert #yeg #benjaminmoore #renovationfind

Deck-boards refresh using Benjamin Moore's Arborcoat- to match original colour. I also primed and painted the front screen door white. Although I mainly focus on interior repaints, I do small exterior projects too. (Doors, windowframes, and porches to name a few) #wallsrevived #exteriorpainting #arborcoat #deckpaint #deckrepaint #frontdoorpainting

Half day room transformation! I think the chosen colour is so pretty and the wallpaper brings in even more warmth. This is going to be such a cool nursery room. My camera didn't give this colour justice... wall colour is Benjamin Moore Sea Froth 2107-60. #wallsrevived #seafroth #stalbert #yegpainting #pinknursery #nurserydesign #woodpanelwallpaper #renovationfind

I'm in love with this colour scheme 😍 I think I may be painting my bedroom feature wall this colour soon. Credit goes to @dirtygertshouse check out her IG.. awesome decorating style. Wall colour is Benjamin Moore 2050-10 Salamander #wallsrevived #darkgreenfeaturewall #darktealfeature #greenandpink

Wall mural! I will admit it was a challenge installing these 44" sticky-back panels. End result is amazing! My client is super happy. #wallsrevived #wallmural #wallmurals #colorfulmural #wallart #stalbert #renovationfind

Enjoying the beautiful afternoon on my patio reading books and eating cheesecake. Very happy with my new additions ~ thanks to @greyshed for those cute concrete mushrooms. #wallsrevived #greyshed #patiolife #lifeisbetteronthepatio #yeg

Who says ceilings need to be white? I chose a soft spa-like aqua colour for this ensuite's vaulted ceiling. What do you think? Colour is Benjamin Moore's White Rain 708 #wallsrevived #aquaceiling #blueceiling #spaensuite #stalbert #yeg #yegpainter #benjaminmoore #renovationfind

Window/Glass Film. I can install that! Very similar application for wall murals and wallpaper. Great option for privacy. #wallsrevived #windowfilm #obsurefilm #renovationfind

Concrete Floor Repaint. This fresh coat of paint makes a huge difference and cleans up this furnace room nicely. Using Benjamin Moore's 'Floor & Patio' product in 'Stormy Monday' colour #wallsrevived #concretefloorpaint #paintedconcrete #yegpainters #yegpainting #renovationfind

Garage Door painting. The old colour was chalking and wasn't the right shade. Thanks to @vkosiktrendesdesign, this fabulous darker colour looks stunning. Benjamin Moore AF-655 Silhouette in Aura Exterior #wallsrevived #garagedoorpainting #renovationfind #benjaminmoore #vkosiktrendesdesign

Afraid of heights? Good thing I'm not.. I painted the walls of this church's hall 2 coats White Sand OC-10 using Benjamin Moore's Scuff-X product. #wallsrevived #stalbert #stalbertunitedchurch #scuffx

Gorgeous dramatic Hunter Green 2041-10 from Benjamin Moore...paired with Revere Pewter HC-172 which has a subtle green undertone. This will be an awesome basement entertaining area. *Be aware that Hunter Green will require at least 3 coats - especially going over lighter colours. #wallsrevived #huntergreen #huntergreenfeaturewall #darkgreenfeaturewall #yegpainting #reverepewter #benjaminmoore #renovationfind

Candid pic of what happens when I roll a textured ceiling. Yikes! #wallsrevived #ceilingpaintpixieface #shouldhaveworeamask?

This 2 toned pinky-brown knockdown ceiling was once trendy and an expensive upgrade.. but it darkened the space and limited the wall colour choices. So my lovely clients had me paint them white - much brighter. Also changed the wall colour to Balboa Mist OC-26. #wallsrevived #ceilingpaint #vaultedceilingpaint

Vanity refresh. I paint a lot of cabinets white.. so it's fun to change it up and go dark! Excellent colour choices from #vkosiktrendesdesign Using my favorite Stix primer and Benjamin Moore's Advance in pearl sheen #wallsrevived #vanitypaint #stixprimer #benjaminmooreadvance #benjaminmoore #renovationfind @vkosiktrendesdesign

TIP ALERT: Tester paints. I encourage testing samples on your walls to see the undertones on various walls. BUT... best to apply the samples smoothly to avoid ridges (as shown) -These ridges will show through the top coats and need to be sanded down. Also, don't skimp on the tester sites.. I recommend at least 1'x1' near the floors, trims, cabinets, and countertops. #wallsrevived #testcolors #colourundertones #colorundertones #testerpaints

Does this wall look blue to you? A designer picked this colour (Silver Satin OC-26) and said it would match the flooring, tiles, counters, trim, etc. I'm not sold yet on mixing cool and warm colours.. and neither was my client. So we changed it! See next photo for a better choice. Natural Cream OC-14. ~ this colour is becoming a favourite go-to greige. It has a slight yellow undertone which works with warm surroundings. Also goes well with cream or white trims. I've seen Silver Satin work in other spaces and did not have a strong blue undertone. Flooring, trims, and LIGHTING, have a huge influence on pulling undertones. Silver Satin needs "white" trims and a gray-toned floor. #wallsrevived #silversatinisblue #silversatin #blueundertones #yellowundertones #greige #perfectgreigepaint #yegpainting

Paint Colour Tip Alert! What's this? It's a lesson about doors & trims.. Sometimes they aren't "white" (as indicated by the bright white papertowel I'm holding against it). This is a very important factor when choosing a wall colour because they should complement eachother. * I started painting Classic Gray OC-23 (a popular safe neutral light gray) ~ which didn't look good at all with the door & trim colour. Had to reselect a more suitable wall colour. * Why not change the doors and trims to White? Easier said than done! Changing colours on doors, doorframes, windowframes, baseboards, etc is very labourious requiring a minimum of 2 coats ~ and can be costly as a result. * #wallsrevived #painttip #trimanddoorcolour #doorcolour #trimcolour #colourtips #paintcolours #renovationfind #colorselection #trimcolor #doorcolor #colortips

Baseboards (and trims) are like the icing on a cake and should be painted! No sense having beautifully painted walls and dingy dirty trims. #wallsrevived #paintthetrims #paintyourbaseboards #muchbetter #beforeandafter #renovationfind #yegpainting #professionalpainter

Ever seen this? It's water staining on the ceiling beside a bathroom fan. You can't use regular ceiling paint to fix this eyesore. #wallsrevived #ceilingstain #stainblocker #icanfixthis #renovationfind

Bye bye old oak, hello 2 toned cabinets! Upper cabinets and backsplash (yes, tiles can be painted) are 'Frostine', lowers are 'Stormy Sky' by Benjamin Moore. #wallsrevived #cabinetpainting #2tonedcabinets #benjaminmooreadvance

Brick wallpaper wrapped around an electric fireplace wall. I decided to be creative with the beam & bricks on the 2nd picture #wallsrevived #brickwallpaper #wallpaperfireplace #renovationfind

Bedroom transformation. I really like Benjamin Moore's Husdon Bay 1608...so that's what's on the feature wall. The beam has been painted dark brown. I will be adding a faux finish to make it look like wood. Beautiful resin artwork was commissioned by @angela.carrozza.art #wallsrevived #navyfeaturewall #husdonbay1608 #renovationfind

Painting Tip: I love when clients choose dramatic colours. However, I would suggest NOT painting your closets with dark colours. Rather closets should be painted with off-white colours to brighten the space for more visibility. (Also you won't need to paint it when you decide to change your room colour.) I would also suggest using a scuff resistant paint like Benjamin Moore's Scuff-X paint. #wallsrevived #paintingtips #paintclosetswhite #benjaminmoorescuffx @thatbenmooreguy #renovationfind

Wall Mural installed on 2 entry walls. Neat idea! Now I'm looking at the +100s of choices on society6.com #wallsrevived #wallmural #society6 #treemural #renovationfind

Another Wall Crime! Silicone can be a painter's nightmare. Countertop & Tile installers often use clear silicone...but what they don't consider is that paint won't stick to typical silicone! So when we change a paint colour, we're unpleasantly surprised to see this consequence. (There is paintable silicone on the market..and should be used whenever sealing against paintable surfaces) #wallsrevived #wallcrimes #cantpaintsilicone #siliconenightmare #doitrightthefirsttime

Repainting a Chalkboard wall. Nice and fresh. #wallsrevived #benjaminmoorechalkboardpaint #chalkboardwall #startfresh #stalbertpainting #stalbert

Wall Crimes! This is how you DON'T patch & paint walls. Sanding sponges don't cost much... #wallsrevived #DIYfailure #improperprep #sandbeforepaint

Brick 'peel n stick' wallpaper in Grey and White. Love this pattern. #wallsrevived #brickwallpaper #grayandwhitebrick

BEFORES & AFTERS! My favourite part about repainting is Reviving walls in need of some TLC. * Did you know that some painters don't repair the walls and simply apply paint? It's always best to confirm this service when getting a quote. * Walls Revived ensures gouges, dents, and holes are repaired to make the surface look like new again 😍 * Wall colour is Benjamin Moore's Edgecomb Gray HC-173. Ceiling in Flat White. Trim is Standard White. * #wallsrevived #yegpainting #wallrepair #beforeandafter

I love this navy feature wall that I did for a lovely client. Colour is Benjamin Moore's 1680 Hudson Bay #wallsrevived #navyfeaturewall #yegpainting #perfectnavy @thatbenmooreguy

From plain white to BOLD navy blue! Excellent 2 coat coverage. Benjamin Moore's Regal in Eggshell, colour is HC-156 Van Deusen Blue #wallsrevived #bluebedroom #vandeusenblue #yegpainting #stalbertpainting @thatbenmooreguy

Big project collaboration with Caruana Interiors & Contracting. Railing stain & polyurethane. Painted ceilings, trims, walls, Tall walls, fireplace mantle and screen. Walls are Benjamin Moore's OC-28 Collingwood in Regal matte #wallsrevived #stainrailings #railingstain #yegpainting #painting

Brick can be painted! Walls painted in Benjamin Moore's 2019 colour of the year 'Metropolitan'. Mantle changed from natural wood to White. Ceiling and trims painted too for complete refresh. #wallsrevived #paintedbrick #yegpainting #stalbert #stalbertpainting #paintedmantle

Another day, another cabinet transformation! (Well, the process takes longer than a day..when done correctly) #wallsrevived #whitecabinets #paintedcabinets #whitekitchencabinets #yegpainting

Venetian Silk Faux Finish. The lights cast a magical glow and give it another dimension! An improvement from the original dark walls #wallsrevived #fauxfinish #venetiansilk #texturedwall

From drywall to finish coats on walls and wallpaper! I loved installing this.. easy product to work with eventhough I had some ceiling obstacles. #wallsrevived #shiplapwallpaper #wallpaperfeature

Beautiful Wallpaper Feature Wall! Take notice of the perfectly centered pattern. #wallsrevived #hireaprofessional #wallpaperfeature #ilovesymmetry #notyourgrandmaswallpaper

Love this brick wallpaper feature wall. #wallsrevived #brickwallpaper #proinstall #whitebrickwallpaper #wallpaperfeaturewall

This small Wallpaper feature wall is perfect for this kitchen nook. And I wrapped it around the corner to give it depth. #wallsrevived #wallpaper #wallpaperfeature #shiplapwallpaper

Dramatic difference! Completely brightened up this kitchen. Cabinet colour is Fossil Gray and Island is Standard White. #wallsrevived #foxproconstruction #cabinetpainting #benjaminmooreadvance #graycabinets #sprayedcabinets

Exterior stairs. Before, scraped loose paint off, painted 2 coats. Much better. #wallsrevived #exteriorpainting #stalbert #yegpainting

Wallpaper Feature Wall! #wallsrevived #wallpaper #featurewall #wallpaperfeature

Staff Lunchroom. Going from blah boring to fabulous deep purple! #wallsrevived #lunchroomwalls #ilovepurple #purplewalls #stalbert #yegpainting

Simple & pretty wall mural for a little girl's bedroom. The new flooring from @ashleyfinefloors is an improvement too. #wallsrevived #wallmural #simplewallmural #yegpainting #wallmuralsyeg

Another collaboration with #caruanainteriorsandcontracting. Bye bye old wood, hello fresh white! The new wall paint, floors, light fixtures, backsplash & countertops help too. #wallsrevived #whitetrims #paintedcabinets #paintedrailing #kitchenreno #yegpainting #Morinville

Good job Val @vkosiktrendesdesign for picking a fabulous blue for this #bluebarndoor. #wallsrevived #barndoor #yegpainting #slidingbarndoor

Is the quality of Painter's Tape important? YES! Also knowing how to use tape correctly helps. I redid the "professionals" work (shown on left) and voila, near perfect tape line! (shown on right). You get what you pay for when it comes to tape and dark feature walls. #wallsrevived #painterstape #featurewalls #professionalpainter #tapefail #getwhatyoupayfor #crisppaintlines

Refreshing a kitchen with a lick-of-paint on the cabinets. The colour is Benjamin Moore's HC-172 Revere Pewter. So not white, but rather a grey-beige... Either way it's an improvement from the dated Oak. #wallsrevived #cabinetpainting #beigecabinets #yegpainting #updatedcabinets
